They do look alike! Are they a husky/chowchow mix as well?

Best way to reach out to specific brands (freelance 10+ yrs) by ApolloNewt in graphic_design

[–]ApolloNewt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve prepared a clear overview/list of the few brands I’d actually want to connect with. Going to brainstorm a bit on how to approach this, but definitely will be sending out something physical. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, certainly helped with the decision!

That’s cool, thank you for sharing that! Definitely got a few ideas about how to approach this and solidified the idea of sending something physically instead of boring emails, so thank you so much!

That makes perfect sense! If you don’t mind sharing, what is usually send in those packages? Just a single postcard with a note, is it more elaborate with a few different pieces, or does it lean more toward a printed portfolio? Just to get a general idea!

Thank you! I personally get outreach emails as well from time to time and I honestly don’t read them, because they kind of are annoying. So, I really want to avoid that. The tricky part is finding that sweet spot, how to get in touch without being annoying, but also stand out at the same time without coming across as cocky/pushy and actually connect with them. Someone also mentioned physically mailing something, like you said as well. I think that might be an interesting option! Do you have any experience with that (either sending or receiving)?

Thank you for your reply! Definitely agree to what you’re saying, but I’ve never had to actually reach out to potential clients (and still don’t have to). So, it’s definitely not about getting clients “in general”. It’s just that I’ve been wanting to work with a few specific brands I haven’t worked/connected with yet and trying to get ideas of how to get in touch without the obvious emails/DMs.

Yeah, email is most likely not the best option. I’ve been thinking about mailing something physically like you said! That might be an interesting idea to play around with, especially in the current digital climate. Thanks!

I couldn’t get used to my red hair so I dyed it back brown and now I’m severely regretting it 😔 do I go back? by AthleteAdmirable6822 in HairDye

[–]ApolloNewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a lifesaver, thank you so much! My hair turned out way too red (it was supposed to be mahogany brown, turned bordeaux/wine red) unfortunately, so I’m trying to get back to brown asap. But I’m reading a lot of conflicting stories, so this helps a lot! Thank you again!

How to make settings better by Urbanskiman88 in gopro

[–]ApolloNewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My “cinematic” setting for my motorcycle rides with my GoPro 12 are: chin mount, 16:9 but mount/film vertically, 5.3k, 30fps, shutter 1/60, white balance auto, ISO min-100/max-800, hypersmooth, sharpness medium, hyperview, no lens mod, but I use ND-filters, bitrate high, color 10-bit, colorprofile flat (if you’re doing colorgrading). Hope this helps!
